Removing chipped travertine floor tiles.

[enduro]

Had a job tod ay for a customer who has travertine floor, some of the tiles cracked so she got the tiler back to replace them. Well he chipped the edges on loads more trying to remove them with just a club hammer and chisle. i have 8 to remove and this is how it should be done. Remove grout with fein multimaster, then set the makita depth gauge to the thickness of the tile and cut corner to corner...then gentle use a SDS drill and the tile will come out without damaging the others.
